Place Django Reinhardt

The Place Django Reinhardt is a public square in the eighteenth arrondissement of Paris that honors the legacy of one of the twentieth century's most influential jazz musicians. It sits in a neighborhood where the young Django and his family frequently parked their caravans during his formative years. City officials dedicated this space to the guitarist on his centenary in twenty ten to commemorate his deep connection to the local Manouche community and the streets that served as his childhood home.
